    FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY! ~ Master bedroom and Landing

    Declutter the floor!
    Vacuum the floors
    Level Two
    Strip and wash bedding and remake bed.. do you need the duvet back on yet?

    My own stuff that I would like to do:

    Pick up rubbish from garden
    Hoe and weed garden already done
    Weed near rhubarb
    Cut down rose bushes
    Clean inside of car if time
    Start on bush at bottom of garden if time

    Workmen are here at the mo, finishing up. We are hoping that when they do the plastering they will do a homer for us and do some bits in the kitchen. If they can then we will be decorating the kitchen soon, hopefully so my parents can see the fully finished product in 2 weeks time when they come.

    valli -how annoying i take it DS wouldnt clean up if asked.
    He probably wouldn't bother to clean it off the bike although he would sweep it up if he got it on the path. TBH my tyre cleaning was pre-emptive to prevent further nasty mess - a bit of a 'stitch in time' action! He had to clean his school shoes when he came home with 'it' on them...and he had to do it outside. And he did!

    Valli did you get my post yeterday about the working on a Thursday and sorting out your costume yet.??
    err no I don't and I haven't source a cossie yet. I HATE clothes shopping - but I will get one, I will...
